A 25-year-old man, Christopher Cassar from Fgura, is in danger of losing his life after he was hit by a bus while he was crossing the street a few metres away from a pedestrian crossing.
The accident happened this afternoon at around 4pm when the man was crossing the busy 13 December Street in Marsa. A King Long bus driven by a 59-year-old from Żejtun, Godwin Agius, going towards Paola hit the 25-year-old. The windscreen of the bus sustained severe damage with the impact of the man.
He was rushed to Mater Dei Hospital by an ambulance where he was given first aid and certified to be in danger of loss of life.
Duty magistrate Dr Miriam Hayman ordered an inquiry while District Police are investigating the accident.
